Skier Sergei Ardashev explained to why this appearance was beneficial to him Savelia Korosteleva in Group Egor Sorine .
Ardashev, 25, trains in Sorin’s group. At the Alfa-Bank Russian Championship in Malinovka, Ardashev won three bronze medals: in the skiathlon, team sprint and relay.
— Do you think that Savely’s appearance in the group was beneficial to you? Another strong skier on the team can spur development.
— It’s not like it encourages me… When I trained with Perevozchikov, Ilya Semikov and Ivan Yakimushkin ran with me in the group. A very strong group. There were a lot of guys who could encourage us. There were even those who were stronger in the training process, the same Andrei Melnichenko. I contacted them all.
However, last season I really lacked someone who would support my pace in training, with whom I could work together. Or one day, when I was going through a difficult time, I realized that there was no one to reach out to.
This came to light when Savely arrived. That season, situations arose where it became difficult for Volkov and me, and Retivykh and Filimonov could not bear the load. Eventually everyone started walking. When you have more people in a group, not everyone will feel bad at the same time. Usually it at least alternates,” Ardashev told .
